The Spring 2016 report only states the average GPA of those admitted, but doesn’t state the total number (or percentage) of those accepted vs. those who applied. That information is provided in prior admission cycle reports and provides a more comprehensive picture. This year, those with a GPA of 3.5 or higher were granted automatic acceptance into the program of their choice, which was not the case the last year, so that counted for a fair portion of those accepted. Per a senior advisor I spoke with, however, I believe they also made more seats available this year – in ME and other majors – fitting with the university’s goal to expand its engineering program. Keep in mind, 90% of those eligible to apply during the Spring 2016 cycle were admitted to their first choice major. This is much higher, particularly in the more competitive majors, than previous admission cycles. https://engineering.tamu.edu/academics/advisors-procedures/entry-to-a-major
